The Sauterelle is Chronoswiss's first model with an in-house manufacture caliber-"Made in Germany." Thus, Chronoswiss makes a clear distinction between the limited historical manufactory calibers utilized to this point and the Sauterelle, a completely new development that represents the first step on the brand's path to becoming a true manufacture. This caliber ticks not only in one watch, but more precisely, in two model variations, putting the connoisseur in the predicament of having to choose. The Sauterelle is available both as a classic three-hand watch (with either black or white dial) or with an unusual regulator dial that is reminiscent of the brand's origins.
In the new Sauterelle, a word that means "grasshopper" in English, the very large balance with its variable torque and accompanying Breguet overcoil balance spring complete 18,000 semioscillations per hour (2.5 Hz)-just like in the good old days. In these hectic times we like to call this skillful deceleration-actually a really good fit with Gerd-Rüdiger Lang, who one can confidently say is calmness and composure in the flesh.

The result is the 2009 unveiling of the brand-new Chronoscope CM (Compteur Minutes). This chronograph wristwatch "with a twist" counts the minutes in a completely novel way once the stopwatch is started-and needs a quick additional step to get going. Once the prominent diamond-shaped marking on the easyto-grip rotating bezel has been set to the tip of the long minute hand, the duration of the timed event becomes available at a glance; and the days of peering at small, barely visible minute counters of conventional "chronographs" are finally a thing of the past.
Let's assume that the time running on a parking meter after inserting some coins is 30 minutes. In this case, it suffices to synchronize the 30- minute index with the current location of the minute hand without using the stopwatch; when the hand gets to the diamond-shaped marker, it's time to either move the car or put some more money in the meter.
At this point we'd like to draw your attention to the special design of the minute hand: it is exceptionally long and when the observer takes a closer look, he or she will notice that it actually has two tips. The first, shorter, one displays the minutes as usual, while the second one reaches to the edge of the dial, thus pointing directly to the minutes stopped by the chronograph on the rotating bezel's minute scale when the chronograph is on.
